Revealed - full details of Trump's UK trip: US president won't make ANY public appearances in London as he meets May at Chequers and the Queen at Windsor on visit with Melania
Daily Mail/UK, Jul 6, 2018

Donald Trump will not make any public appearances in London when he comes to the UK next week - amid a massive security operation.

The US president and First Lady Melania will touch down in Britain on Thursday for his first visit since entering the White House.

Huge protests have been threatened that could see 50,000 take to the streets of the capital, while a big orange 'Baby Trump' blimp has been given permission to fly.

The president's security team will guard him everywhere he goes in the UK as he travels around the country between London and Scotland.  A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter, piloted by the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. The helicopters and their decoy versions will be in the UK.   The US president will meet Theresa May at her Chequers country residence on Friday rather than in Downing Street.

Trump's £1.2 million Cadillac 'The Beast' has been flown over in one of the world's largest military planes - the Super Galaxy C5. Meanwhile US Navy carrier, the gigantic USS Harry S Truman, will dock in the south coast as back up.

Asked whether the President was aware of planned protests, the US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson said: 'I think we are all aware of these things but the President is focused on what his objectives are.

'He appreciates free speech, both in this country and in our country. It is one of the things that bind us together.

'This is a short trip. It is absolutely packed with things that he has to do. There is a lot of organisation and planning that went into it.

'He will be spending a lot of time in central London, using that as a base. 'The President is not avoiding anything. The President is merely trying to get as impactful a trip as he can get in a 24-hour period.'

Downing Street denied the itinerary was deliberately designed to shield Mr Trump from the public.

A spokesman pointed out that several other leading figures had been hosted at Chequers in the past, including US presidents Richard Nixon and George W Bush, and, last year, French President Emmanuel Macron.
